New research findings show how higher viscosity, or resistance to flow, of the extracellular fluid that surrounds cells enables cancer cells to migrate more rapidly from a primary tumor to other sites ...

Based on cells’ ability to respond to physical stimuli, a team of researchers hypothesized that extracellular fluid viscosity (which varies under physiological and pathological conditions, such as ...

Tiny, immobile cilia sense the direction of extracellular fluid during development to break left-right symmetry during early embryogenesis, researchers report in two independent studies that ...

A recent study has shown that the shape of cell-derived nanoparticles, known as 'extracellular vesicles' (EVs), in body fluids could be a biomarker for identifying types of cancer. In the study, ...

Researchers have developed a self-powered microneedle patch to monitor a range of health biomarkers without drawing blood or relying on batteries or external devices. In proof-of-concept testing with ...
